What Did You Dream Last Night?

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I had two different dreams last night. One of them involved a bunch of childhood friends, and I was giving them bowls of cut up fruit. I have no idea why, lol.

The other dream was much more detailed. For some reason my brother decided that he was moving somewhere really far away, Germany I think, and wanted me to go with him. We started making plans and were I think on our way to the airport, when suddenly who I was going with and where we were going to changed. I think it was my brother's girlfriend I was traveling with after that, but I'm not quite sure. At first I think we were supposed to be going to Montana, which is where she's moving to soon in real life, but then we were on the way and it turned out we were going to Kentucky, and I think the change in plans had been pretty last minute. The last thing I remember is stopping somewhere along the way to get food, then the dream ended.

I dreamed I was Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy and I needed some medical records and went down and totally flirted with this medical records girl and the next thing I knew I had asked her out and we were in bed together (but everything was done and we were just lying there) and then I was still in bed with her but I think that maybe Dr. McDreamy called and he seemed totally fine that I had brought some strange woman home. And sometimes I (Debra) was in the bed too and they didn't notice me.

I also had a very weird dream where I was part of like a citizen's task force (self-appointed) and we were running a total sting operation on some pervert.

And I also had a dream that I was doing this morning's run. (which I'm about to leave for).

Fragments only. Walking, a ramshackle house on the side of a hill. People I was friends with but honestly don't believe I've ever met.

I dreamed that I got an email from one of my teachers saying that he wasn't accepting an assignment because I'd turned it in late. I remember that I tried to convince him it hadn't been late, but I don't remember *how* I tried to convince him. What I do remember is that the email from him had been sent to several other students, including my best friend, who is not in the class or even a student at my college; I was only mildly surprised to see her name there.

[little.hesperides]

It was a pretty complex dream sequence, and of course I don't remember most of it. The only part I remember was that my ex had apparently found a new girlfriend and was telling me all about her. I remember because it made me feel completely gutted in the dream.

Turns out, it made me feel completely gutted even when awake, too.

[Finey_McFine]

OK, I remember parts of 3 dreams...all full of anxiety. I'm not really sure why, except that things at work have been stressful lately...maybe that's the cause? Who knows.

So, 1st dreamt that I met Sarah Michelle Gellar at a comic convention and she was a total bitch, lol. She was pissy that she had to be there and that people were asking Buffy related questions, etc. I sought her out after the panel, sat her down and told her how inappropriate I thought her behavior was and that she was damn lucky to still have fans! Then she apologized and I woke up. Clearly I've been watching too much Buffy, listening to too many podcasts and reading too many blogs, lol.

2nd dream, my business failed and I was forced to kiss ass, grovel and go back to my old cooperate job. That REALLY sucked.

3rd dream, my truck got stolen. We pulled up on this rotating scale thing at an auto repair type place and they were supposed to weigh it and use an x-ray to see if it had any internal issues. We got out, they did their thing and then the truck was moved forward on some kind of track thingy. When we walked around to pick it up, they said someone already picked it up and left. Apparently, I somehow managed to lose the ticket that I never had in the first place. I was so fucking pissed. I just started yelling at the guy and my then my wife got pissed at me and started to walk away...which made me even angrier.

Then I woke up...THANK GOD! It was like 6am, but I didn't even care. I got up took a shower and went downstairs...no friggin' way in hell I was going back to sleep! LOL

[JustSkipIt]

Terrible, terrible, terrible dream. Dreamed some person. Some bad guy/mean guy type was in our house and we knew s/he would be there but ... fuck if I know what was going on and then Chiara walked out of the bedroom and then I realized that said bad guy was in the house and she was going out there with him/her and for some reason I couldn't walk and then I tried to call Rachel (who was cleaning the bathroom for some fucking unlikely reason) and I couldn't make a sound (very common in my nightmares) and I screamed (or tried to) over and over and over and pounded the wall and she never heard me and then I woke up. Seriously terrifying.

I finally had to wake Rachel up because I was so upset and then she got upset too and she offered that we could go walk around the house but I didn't want to leave the baby alone and Rachel is never willing to go on scary house walkabout by herself. On the upside, our dogs freak the fuck out if someone comes to hang a Chinese delivery on the doorknob or walks by the house on the sidewalk to get their mail so they would be screaming from the ceiling if someone was really in our house.

Oh, and I just got up and my wife went to bed last so she forgot to lock the back door.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I had one dream fragment where I went to get the mail (except I think it was the mailbox of the house I lived in until 6 years ago) and found a bunch of tickets to stuff in England that I had apparently bought while I was thinking about flying there. In the dream I thought, well if I've already got tickets to things to do there, I might as well buy a plane ticket and actually go... The weird part was that though in the dream I knew the tickets were for things like the Shakespeare play I had wanted to see, they actually had pictures of the characters from Charmed on them, and I haven't even watched that show in a couple years.

The other dream fragment I recall was very brief. I remember trying to figure out if my roommate (who left in the wee hours of the morning to move back home) was gone yet, and the number of toothbrushes seemed like the easiest way to determine this, so I went in to the bathroom but instead of the usual 3 toothbrushes there were 7 or 8.

Last night I had a dream that Ellen Degeneres tried to seduce me and although I tried to resist I couldnt and for some reason afterwards Ellen had drawn a charcol of me naked aand put it up on a billboard on her show and told everyone that she had had sex with me and made it as a joke and the audience were laughing at me and then for some reason my mum was in the audience and she was dissapointed in me that I had slept with Ellen lol.

I dreamed I walked into my house and found a gray haired, very domestic lady had begun buying things for my kitchen to bake bread. She had just moved in. I knew her vaguely but felt very relaxed about her being a new housemate and about supporting her with room and board. She had no romantic interest in me, or I her, but she wanted to be a housewife - cook and clean and I was utterly delighted.

Another fragment off the same thread, there was a narrow ledge to sleep on and across the hall was a neighbor's window ledge. I hadn't realized it but I was sitting on their ledge and I actually looked up and saw a woman's legs and crouched down hoping she wouldn't look down, see me, and think I was some peeping tom/house invader. Very awkward! I slid across a two foot space to my own ledge, turned and looked back and it was something entirely different. I realized that the house had some magic - regular rules would not apply!

Interesting dreams, enjoyed them both.

oh, people sharing dreams, that's a great idea!

So, I had a really disturbing dream last night, the classy drama class dream that returns every now and then. I have them usually some days before the premiere but since I have recently graduated (so not in drama class anymore) it was just kind of odd.

Okay, so I was really late because I somehow didn't know that we were supposed to have a performance. And when I finally arrived we were about to start and I didn't even pack most parts of my costume so I wore jeans and a short blue dress and I couldn't find my props and I had to go to the toilet really badly and everything was just horrible. But I managed to remember my lines, so I can say I learned them so well that I can still remember them in my sleep a month after the last performance. Luckily I woke up about 30 seconds into the play so I wasn't tortured too much.

All in all, a very classy nightmare (at least from my experience). I really miss drama class though *sigh*

I dreamt that I had an overdue library book and was totally stressed about getting it back because the librarian was scary. Oh and did I mention that said librarian was Tina Fey? LOL

[little.hesperides]

all i remember is what happened right before i woke up: some woman with exquisite hands was making me pancakes.

sadly, when i woke up, there was no woman. and no pancakes.

I'm bummed out for you...

I dreamt something about grocery shopping (yay, not) at HEB and they were charging like $5 extra for every bag of groceries to cover the cost of the bags. So, my daughter and I had to scour the entire store looking for those reusable bags, which were not cheap either. This went on and on and on and on...it was like being stuck in the movie Ground Hog Day! I was so freakin' grateful to wake up.

BTW...I went grocery shopping today with my daughter and 2 nephews and it was like a bad acid flash back, lol.

What actually happened to me: One week ago I bought a digital piano and I only had my small handbag with me so I wouldn't have been able to put the manual anywhere. One of the employees saw this and went to put the manual in a plastic bag, which was quite nice. But then something really strange happened: His superior noticed him taking one of the bags and said something like: "Are you crazy or something? Those bags are limited and cost 10 cents the piece!" So the employee handed me the manual bagless. And all I could think of was: "I just spent a ridiculously large amount of money on a digital piano here and you wouldn't even want to give me a plastic bag worth 10 cents?! Also: Standing right here, looking at you and obviously listening to every word you say. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" But then again, it wasn't all that important to me (at least not important enough to startle everyone in the shop with yelling) so I was content just wearing my face of disbelief.

Well, my point here is: your dream isn't all that unrealistic. Bags seem to be of great value to shopkeepers.

A few nights ago I dreamt that I was in college, two of my employees were my room mates, we found a baby cougar and it was living in our bath tub. We secretly took it in and fed it bottles of milk, etc. It had to live in the bathtub so it wouldn't claw up all of our stuff. We also had a gray and white kitten as well.

OK...
A) I've been spending entirely too much time at work with these people.
B) I've obviously been watching too much S4/5 Buffy before bed.
C) I could NEVER live with D, he would drive me insane.
D) All of the above.

Ok, this was actually a few nights (or mornings ago).

IRL: Chiara was sick. I slept from 9:30 pm to 1:30 am, then got up so Rachel could sleep. From 1:30 - 7:30 Chiara pretty much slept 20 minutes, threw up, I showered her, changed her clothes, gave her a sip of gatorade and then we did that again. I probably slept 15 minutes in that time. About 7:30 Rachel was awake and said I could go to bed or run if I wanted ( I chose sleep (theoretically)).

I dreamed one of my general sure-fire sexual fantasy type things (which no, I'm not posting here). And I was like, "my baby is sick and I'm thinking of this?" so then I woke up. But I was all turned on so then I masturbated. And then I woke up from that and was again like "what?" and this time I was really awake and wasn't at all turned on IRL. So very confusing because 2 sex dreams within sex dreams and none of it actually turning me on IRL. If it hadn't been for that I wouldn't even known that I ever fell asleep. Very weird.

Zombie apocalypse! Well, it was something really normal, and somehow things changed (like they do), and we were in trouble. I was given the responsibility of gathering firearms. So I'm running around, picking up rifles (no handguns? really?) and making sure they have full clips and dumping any extra bullets into the (apparently bottomless) pockets of my hoodie. We are in some sort of split level warehouse. There are people all around that haven't quite made the turn yet to zombies, so we decide we need to blow the place up. I run back up top and start setting up explosive devices. At some point I realize I am in pajamas, and also gather some clothes to take with me (why is all my laundry in the warehouse? and my bicycle, which I also grab?). Long story short...what a way to start the day!

I lived somewhere with my mom again, at one point the address was that of the house I group up in but I don't know that it was actually supposed to *be* that house, and there was someone psychotic either living or temporarily staying with us. I think it was supposed to be someone I know in real life, but I can't remember who. Anyway, she was at least borderline suicidal and at one point was trying to kill me, and though I don't remember thinking it was weird I apparently could kind of float and kept using that to avoid her attacks (I think she had a long knife, but it's pretty fuzzy), and I kept trying to convince her not to do what she was doing, to me and to herself. While trying to escape her I devised a plan that if I could lure her through a door and then get us turned around I'd be able to sneak back in a close the door so she couldn't get me, but rather than this actually happening the dream then switched completely, and I was getting ready to watch Gilmore Girls with someone (not sure who it was supposed to be, but I know I was friends with her in the dream). Then it turned out that girl was the SAME girl who had just been attacking me, so I shut myself up somewhere intending to call 911, but then I saw through a slightly-open door that the girl was calmly talking to my mom and I wasn't sure what to do. I went outside since the psycho was so close by, and decided to call 311 instead of 911 since that's for minor emergencies and the girl seemed safer now. (I don't know if 311 actually *is* for minor emergencies, but dream-me certainly thought so.) I tried calling, but accidentally pressed 211, then when I was trying to redial my mom and the psycho came out of the house. I exploded at them, wondering why they couldn't just stay inside and saying that I didn't want to be around the homicidal girl; my mom got completely pissed at me, saying that we should be trying to help her not judging, and finally saying she guessed I'd just have to wait to watch Gilmore Girls, like it was a reasonable punishment for being hostile to the girl who tried to kill me, but they did go back inside. I called 311, but it took me to my voicemail, where I had a seemingly important message about school stuff from someone I didn't know, and that's where the dream ended.

Last night I dreamt that my ex-neighbors asked us to babysit their 4 kids for a few hours. We agreed (in RL we used to do it for each other all the time when the kids were little) and when they dropped them off...they left them there for a month and went on vacation in Hawaii!! It was horrible! Mainly because in RL I grew to dislike the kids immensely and I don't say that about many kids but the two older ones, yeesh.

Anyway, back to the dream. After about a month, they returned and the mother called the police and said that we kidnapped her kids. I think she did it because she didn't want to be accused of abandoning the kids in the first place. The dream was weird and my memory of it is fragmented, about all I remember from this point was arguing with her on the phone about who was a better parent; kinda of a straight vs. lesbian parenting thing. Then I remember telling her that at least I spent quality time with my kid and that she was smarter than all four of her kids combined, lol. Ridiculous!

[JustSkipIt]

Weird dream. We were going somewhere and I was driving and the highway interchanges were confusing and Rachel didn't really know which way to go either. Anyway, we did this loop thing and come up next to this car driving moderately slowly and it's some sort of jalopy with no doors and this hippie chick is driving and sitting on the floor of the front seat is her little kid who is resting his head on her knee. No seatbelt. No car seat. Hell, no car door. I was freaked and screamed did she want our car seat? She actually pulled over and was kind of pissy about my driving (like I said, I didn't know where I was going so it was justified). Before I could pull Chiara's car seat out to give to her (in this dream we still had the spare car seat - also in the dream Chiara was not with us but I don't know why) I noticed that she actually had a car seat in her car. It was a booster which is older than her kid should use but would be way way better than nothing and way way better than no seatbelt at all. Anyway, she actually buckled him into it while we talked.

Still, the sight in the dream of a kid not in any kind of seat kind of freaks me out.

[JustSkipIt]

I dreamed we were all going to an all staff conference at work. IRL we have these conferences and they are basically 1 hour meetings quarterly. We had one last Friday. In the dream, we had assigned seating and lot of people wore bathing suits and jumped in the pool (we have no pool and anyone putting on a bathing suit would be fired and probably sent for psychiatric care).

[JustSkipIt]

That I won Survivor (I would never really go on Survivor) and then went back the next season and was terrible. Also that I took the kids outside to play in the sprinklers.

[JustSkipIt]

Two fucked up "naked or nearly so in public" dreams. Yuck. Very disturbing.

Also, a dream that Shel post a sort of disclaimer at the start of her Racing in the Rain update that was like... well... maybe I shouldn't change a story but I wanted to be a little different than what you've been reading. Then Tara like shapeshifted into a Wolf because she was sent as the ultimate protector to Willow's White witch or some such totally different thing from what Racing is about. Ha ha.

[Finey_McFine]

OMG!!! That totally made my night! Now I'm invading your dreams!!! My plan is working, wahaha!


BTW Deb, You should absolutely write that story.

[Finey_McFine]

I had this dream last week and forgot to post, so here it is...

I dreamt that I had to go back to high school for some unknown reason. But I already knew people, even though I'd never been to this particular hs before and my classes were all AP. *Insert laugh track here* So anyway, because all my classes were AP, I met and became friends with Willow or she was my gf...I'm not really sure; that part is fuzzy.

At some point it was time for lunch and I was sitting with my friends in the quad eating chocolate fudge cream pie when Willow came up to me and got right in my face, I'm talking like 2" away. She said something like, "Hey, I made this chocolate pudding just for you with whipped cream and everything. Aren't cha gonna try mine?" All I really remember is two bright green eyes...then I woke up, damn it!

OK, so right before I went to bed I read the first chapter of True_love's fic Remodeling and at the end of the first chapter, Willow leans in Tara's car, right in her face. I guess I totally channeled that scene in my dream, lol. Oh and later that day, I dragged my assistant over to the neighboring town for the best chocolate fudge cream pie on the planet because I was totally craving it after that dream! Unfortunately, Willow did not make a real life appearance:(

[sweet satin lover]

I had a dream that part of my front tooth fell out thats all I can remember

[JustSkipIt]

I dreamed that I lived in an apartment or dorm or something and was changing the password on my wireless router and only sharing it with one friend. This dream took hours... Like I kept waking up and checking the clock and was still having this dream.

[Finey_McFine]

I dreamt about work. Maybe because I was put in about 60-70 hours last week or because yesterday was an endless stream of cheerleaders and their horribly bitchy mothers? I dunno.

Anyway, in the dream I was struggling with my camera. I couldn't get the settings correct and when I thought I finally did get them right...it turned into an old Kodak Instamatic. Then I spent the rest of the time searching for my camera and panicked. No anxiety here, lol.

[JustSkipIt]

I dreamed that we had to park like we were in college. And there were parking lots for our sticker that I couldn't find and there were meters on the street but you could only pay cash and only $1 (1 hour) and never feed them.
